XRP Remains Profitable Despite Ongoing Price Slump
Despite recent price struggles, XRP, the digital asset associated with Ripple, has maintained its position among the top five most profitable mainstream assets. According to a report by analytics platform Santiment, XRP's profitability ratio remains high despite the asset failing to break the $0.5 barrier for over two months.
Supply Profitability Analysis
Santiment's analysis utilizes its "Supply in Profit" metric, which compares a token's current value to its initial value on the blockchain. This metric indicates whether a token is currently profitable or in loss.
Bitcoin (BTC) leads the profitability rankings with 98.3% of its circulating supply in profit, followed by Ethereum (ETH) with 95.1%. Chainlink and Dogecoin hold the third and fourth positions with 86.8% and 82.2% profitability ratios, respectively.
XRP's Position
XRP holds the fifth position with a profitability ratio of 78.8%, despite experiencing a 15% price decline this year. This decline has made XRP the only cryptocurrency on the list to suffer losses since January.
However, XRP's high profitability ratio can be attributed to several factors. A significant portion of XRP's circulating supply was released when prices were substantially lower, and token releases often coincided with periods of low prices.
Ripple's Escrow Releases
Ripple's escrow releases play a significant role in maintaining XRP's profitability. With an inflation rate of approximately 200 million tokens per month, escrow releases inject a substantial number of tokens into circulation.
Despite concerns about inflation, the timing of these releases often aligns with low XRP prices, ensuring that the released tokens remain profitable at current market prices. Recent escrow releases in May and June, for instance, contributed to XRP's ongoing profitability.
Conclusion
While XRP continues to face challenges in price performance, its profitability metrics suggest underlying strength and resilience. Despite the asset's inability to surpass $0.5, a high proportion of its circulating supply remains profitable, highlighting the confidence investors have in XRP's long-term potential.
